What’s all this?

I’ve been traveling, poking around, eating, snapping photos and soaking up other culture for a long, long time. Thought it’s about time to share some of my adventures….

Sometimes we even eat traditional foods of Italian origin! Today: La Professoressa’s PERFECT GNOCCHI! #gnocchi #pasta #pastafattaincasa #pastafattaamano #notjustpotatoes #italianfood #umbria

Today for lunch I took La Professoressa on a culinary voyage to India. Mung Dal (like yellow lentils), saag (sautéed cima di rape with cumin and onion), and spiced grilled chicken breast! She licked her bowl clean! This stuff is as exotic as hell for my provincial Umbrian friend! #indianfood #mungdal #dal #saag #india #terni

Ful salad; Moroccan Fava Bean Salad. I had this in Fed in 1991 and ran home to Austin to figure out a recipe! It is easy, fast and DELICIOUS! Favas are in season now here in Italy so I will make this often—there is nothing like this in any Italian tradition, so once more, I am the exotic foreigner! At least it contains no butter! Only favas, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, cumin, red pepper and cilantro. There, I’ve given you the recipe! In Austin, I often subbed frozen Lima beans for the favas, get the large ones! #foul #ful #morocco #moroccanfood #favabeansalad #fava #fave

Pizzoccheri, a cold weather pasta dish from far northern Italy. Rustic pasta with Savoy cabbage (verza), potatoes, fontina, lots of butter and sage, heated in the oven until the cheese melts a bit. Yum! #pizzocheri #pasta #pastafattaincasa #verza #savoycabbage #italianfood #fontina

We had very light snow this morning, but La Professoressa and I did our ten laps anyway! Can you see the flakes? #snow #terni #lockdown #martiallaw #6000steps

What The Pensioner and La Professoressa do during Italian Martial Law. #dominos #domino #martiallaw #covid_19 #isolation #lockdown

Smart dog!

Possibly the best gelato I’ve ever had! At Napoleone in Rieti. #gelato #rieti #cioccolaterianapoleone #icecream #foodporn #italy #fuckcoronavirus🍻

There’s a new duckling in the Fiume Velino at the Ponte Romano in Rieti! Cute! #rieti #duckling #ducks #velino #ponteromano #anatra #duckfamily #italy
